How do I get the entire page to print from the internet?
It cuts off the right side of the page so I lose
information in the right margin. I am using XP Home.
 
Not a problem with the Internet page but with the printer margin in the
printer driver you are using on your system.
 
The designer of the web page set a fixed width for the page and it won't fit
on your printer. In this case it would have been better to have not
specified a width, then the printer would wrap it accordingly (or specify a
narrower margin).

One workaround is to highlight the text that you want to print and specify
"Selection" in the "Page range" of the print dialog box. Another option is
to print the page in landscape mode, it's a print prefererence setting. A
last resort is to copy and paste the text into another program for printing.
 
I just noticed another posting that referred to setting the margins in IE. I
wasn't aware of this option, I just assumed that IE used the maximum area
available to each printer. So I guess that would be a good thing to try
first, might save you more work in the future.

The odd thing is, what does IE do when the page margins are setup to go
beyond the printable area of the print device? I assume it reins the content
back in, regardless of what the print preview might show.
